Two Trenton firefighters injured in West Ingham fire

TRENTON — One firefighter sprained an ankle while another sprained his wrist as city crews battled a blaze in vacant house Monday night. Both were treated and released from RWJ University Hospital at Hamilton, Battalion Chief Steve Amiott said.

Engines 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, Ladders 1 and 4, Rescue 1, Special Services 1 and Signal 22 were called to the first block of West Ingham Avenue around 8 p.m. where heavy smoke was showing from the two story home. Shortly after firefighters arrived on the scene, flames began shooting out of the roof. Crews were temporarily evacuated from the building as the parts of the second floor looked close to collapse, but it never happened and firefighters went back inside.
